Summary

Join Tamara for an interview with photographer Bailey Davidson, a Milledgeville native who lived in NYC as an aspiring actor for a few years, before returning to Georgia in the late 90s to pursue his MFA in Photography at SCAD.  Since graduating, Bailey has built his freelance career in all aspects of professional commercial and editorial photography, working with a wide range of clients, including Savannah Music Festival, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, and The London Observer. This past spring he opened a studio in City Market - go visit him and his 20 years' worth of Savannah photos there!  Check out Bailey's work and follow him here:  https://www.facebook.com/BaileyDavidsonPhotography https://baileydavidson.com/  Topics in their chat include: Bailey's indie movie he acted in, called "Bringing Down Dejonga" (this was the ending title after all! I found out online. --Tamara); how while in NYC he started taking headshots for his fellow actors and gradually took more and more photos, getting into art shows, and drifting from acting to photography; how he first heard of SCAD because his parents happened to meet the Poetters on a cruise; his Flannery O'Connor tie-ins of having grown up in Milledgeville and then living in the garden apartment of her childhood home as his first Savannah apartment; his practice immediately post-grad of shooting weddings and family portraits, to support himself as he built up his clients for commercial and editorial shoots; his show at the JEA last year that was a continuation of his MFP thesis show, "Bailey's Acres," all Holga pinhole camera work; the nostalgia of taking photos with an analog/film camera and then being surprised by the images once you pick up your developed photos; his Storyboards website where he displays his series of photos that combine to tell a story, influenced by David Hockney and Robert Rauschenberg; his photography books "Seasons of Savannah," "Savannah Past and Present," and "Milledgeville Then and Now;" recently getting published in the fine art mag "Black & White Magazine;" and his advice to students and young photographers to just shoot shoot shoot as there's no substitute for practicing your craft.   Tune in and get all the details!

Between the Lines From the secular to the sacred in education. Welcome to Between the Lines: a podcast for nuanced conversations about education.“The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running,” wrote Simone Weil. At Between the Lines, this joy of learning is the air we breathe: the joy of discovery, of opening one’s mind to new ideas, and of reading, writing, and reasoning about the most important things. Above all, education is a joy because it hones the human powers of rational thinking—learning both what really is, and how to think well about what really is.History attests to the power of learning—for good and for ill. The ideas human beings hold shape the course of history, from philosophical principles to medical breakthroughs. When children (and adults!) learn to reason well from good principles, they build flourishing societies, have sparkling insights, and produce great works of art. On the other hand, bad principles—or bad reasoning—have often led to the great tragedies of history.In our time, educat Voice of West Papua Joe Wally, Erwin Bleskadit, Debra Wally, Sixta Kareni, Terra and Ronny Kareni Voice of West Papua has been on the air for 11 years and is presented by West Papuan activists and community members who voice the aspirations of West Papua's struggle, share songs, interviews, music, and stories. Since the annexation of West Papua by Indonesia on 1 May 1963, more than half a million West Papuans have died and countless have gone missing as a result of a brutal military occupation. Today West Papuans are still experiencing injustice, marginalisation and human rights abuses just because they stand up for themselves. Through our stories, interviews, music, and art, we hope to raise awareness about the plight of West Papua. Papua Merdeka!
